Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 791: Chapter 779 Who is the real beast?

Lin Xiuxiang punctuated each word without mercy, piercing through Qiao Licheng’s various misdeeds.

After listening to her, the sales associates who were just now gossiping about Qiao Jing instantly turned their guns around and began to condemn Qiao Licheng.

"So that’s how it is, a father who only begets but does not raise is no father at all. No wonder his daughter doesn’t care for him!"

"This man is too ruthless, abandoning his month-old daughter in the countryside, as if he wished her dead!

"How can he still have the face to ask his daughter for money after committing such disgusting acts? And to do so with such righteous indignation? Truly scum of the earth!"

"Exactly, when he threw his daughter to the countryside, the bond between them was cleanly severed. So whether he lives or dies now has nothing to do with her, she doesn’t need to bother about him at all!"

"..."

In an instant, the direction of public opinion made a 180-degree turn.

Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Qiao Licheng’s face began to look somewhat unpleasant.

His gaze dark and ominous, he glared at Lin Xiuxiang and retorted, "Stop spouting nonsense here, fabricating stories. How could there possibly be such a heartless father in the world?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing curled her lips slightly, letting out a cold laugh.

Qiao Licheng frowned at her and asked irritably, "What are you laughing at?"

"It’s the first time I’ve heard someone curse themselves. Don’t you think it’s funny?" Qiao Jing replied with an icy tone and a mocking look.

At these words, Qiao Licheng became so enraged that his face turned the color of liver.

Pointing at Qiao Jing’s head, he said through clenched teeth, "I get it now, you’ve concocted these groundless accusations just to sever ties with me. You never wanted to acknowledge me as your father!"

"Back then, shortly after you were born, you contracted an infectious disease. To treat you, I spared no effort or cost. Your mother went even further. In taking care of you, she became infected and died."

"Now the household is in trouble, yet you, having risen high and mighty, ignore your family’s life and death, even disavowing your kin. You’re nothing but a cold-blooded beast!"

Qiao Licheng twisted the truth into a convincing story, feigning absolute certainty.

The very sales associates who had just been censuring him, swayed by his words, began to shift their condemnation back to Qiao Jing.

"No way! Was everything that woman said before all made up?"

"That’s too outrageous! Just because the family has fallen on hard times, to fabricate such lies about her father, slandering him—completely inexcusable!"

"To turn her back on her kin just because she’s rich—this woman is nothing but a selfish opportunist!"

"No wonder they say appearances can be deceiving. This woman looks attractive, has a good figure, and even appears elegant; who would’ve thought she’s such a greed-driven scoundrel?"

"..."

Qiao Jing remained indifferent to these accusations. Her expression was cold and impassive.

But Lin Xiuxiang could no longer stand it, her anger rising rapidly.

She glared at Qiao Licheng, fuming, "I think your conscience must have been eaten by a dog! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying such things? A lack of morals, shamelessness like yours, will surely not end well!"

At her words, Qiao Licheng’s eyes bulged, his gaze towards Lin Xiuxiang turned vicious, "You wretched girl, you dare to curse me?"

"So, what if I curse you? Someone as morally degraded and shameless as you, are you still afraid of being cursed? Calling you out like this is letting you off easy!"

Lin Xiuxiang was fuming with anger and did not hesitate to retort angrily.

Seeing Lin Xiuxiang so emotionally agitated, Qiao Jing was afraid it might affect the child in her womb and quickly reached out to hold her back, "There’s no need to waste words on people like that."

Then, Qiao Jing turned her gaze to Qiao Licheng, her tone icy as she spoke, "Disappeared from my sight immediately, or I’ll see you in court!"

Qiao Licheng was startled and a bit slow to respond, "What court? What do you mean?" noveldrama

"You defamed me in front of everyone; I can sue you for slander. You know very well what really happened back then, it’s not simply what you say it is with a flap of your lips."

Qiao Jing’s gaze was icy as she stared at Qiao Licheng, a chilling aura emanating from her, "What do you say? Do you dare to confront me in court?"

Refusing to admit what he had done and attempting to bite back, did he really think Qiao Jing was that easy to bully?

Overwhelmed by Qiao Jing’s imposing manner and guilty with no idea how to argue his case, Qiao Licheng froze on the spot, unable to speak.

The onlookers, hearing Qiao Jing’s words and seeing Qiao Licheng’s speechless reaction, instantly understood who was in the right and who was in the wrong.

Realizing they had unjustly accused the wrong person, those who had righteously criticized Qiao Jing just moments ago now awkwardly bowed their heads and quietly moved aside.

And those who hadn’t taken part in the gossip earlier were now pointing fingers at Qiao Licheng.

"So it’s this guy who’s been making things up, how shameless can he get, distorting truth and still acting so self-righteous!"

"Heartlessly abandoning his month-old daughter and now, seeing her do well, shamelessly comes asking her for money. Someone as disgusting as him insults even the term ’scum’; he’s worse than a beast!"

"I’ve never seen anyone so shameless in my life!"

"I don’t know where he gets the nerve, calling his daughter cold-blooded, beastly; I’d say he’s the real beast!"

"..."

Listening to everyone’s discussion, Qiao Licheng’s face had troubles hanging in there, turning an ugly shade.

But, to get money from Qiao Jing’s hands, he still brazenly spoke up, unrelentingly.

"No matter what, I am still your father, and that’s a fact that can’t be changed. Now the family is facing financial difficulties; if you won’t help out, that’s one thing. But since you’re getting married, you must provide the dowry—there’s no room for discussion!"

Hearing Qiao Licheng speak like this, Lin Xiuxiang’s anger surged once again. She was about to say something, but Qiao Jing reached out and held her again.

Lin Xiuxiang turned her head to look at Qiao Jing, and seeing her shake her head, she held back her words.

Then, Qiao Jing glanced at Qiao Licheng and said coldly, "Fine, you want a dowry, right? Then follow me."

She was eager to see if he dared to ask the Zhan Family for a dowry!

Lin Xiuxiang, hearing Qiao Jing say this, looked at her in surprise, apparently not understanding why she would agree.

Qiao Jing saw Lin Xiuxiang’s confusion and gave her a reassuring look.

Getting the signal from Qiao Jing, Lin Xiuxiang immediately understood.

She knew that Qiao Jing must have a solution!

Feeling just as surprised was Qiao Licheng, who had not expected Qiao Jing to agree so easily.

After a moment of shock, Qiao Licheng came back to his senses, as if afraid Qiao Jing might change her mind, he said impatiently, "Fine, let’s go now."
